Daisies in a Jar - Cookie Card Challenge

Hi Crafters and Bakers!  Today is the Cookie Card Challenge!  My favorite crafting day of the month. I love it because it helps me to craft each month. :)  I saw some awesome Summer cookies that LilaLoa made and fell in love w/ the daisies in a mason jar cookie.  So cute!  I thought they would be perfect for a thank you, friend, thinking of you type of card.

Here is my interpretation of that cookie.  It was pretty simple but I love the simplicity of them because they are the perfect for the whatever occasion card.

My mom loved the card so much that she asked if I could make 3 more cards in different colors for the ladies she works with.  

Here are the summer cookies that LilaLoa made and you can see her post HERE.

Aren't those fun?  Make sure you head on over to Georganne's website, LilaLoa, to check out what cookies she made based off of one my card designs.

Thanks for stopping by!

Synthesizing!

Hi Crafters! I was asked by my aunt to make a poster for a lesson she was doing in school. Of course I said yes! It got me crafting and I'd do anything for her. :) She was doing a lesson on 'Synthesizing'.  I was like, huh?  lol  She gave me the idea of putting a pie on there because it takes many ingredients to come together to make it.  So that gave me the idea of making a kitchen counter look and put ingredients on it and with the finished cooked pie. 

Something she also wanted me to do is to cut in into puzzle pieces.  So on the back of the poster I drew puzzle pieces and then just hand cut them out.  I forgot to take a pic of that so just use your imagination.  :)

I have two more projects for you this week.  I'm going to try and do videos for both of them.  This is for you Lane!  :)  (She kicked my rear end last week and told me to craft and video more)  lol

All my paper came from the k&i Memories Classic Prints paper pad.  LOVE the papers in this paper pad.  I got to figure out where I got it so I can get another one when I start running out of my fave sheets.

See you later in the week!

BBQ Poster

Happy Monday Crafters!  Today's project is something I made for my church.  We are having a BBQ in a couple of weeks and they asked if I would create 2 posters to help announce it.  Here is what I came up with.  I've put the cartridges and sizes below the image.

Cookin' Up Some Birthday Wishes

My blog has now been transferred to my new custom domain.  So my blog address is now www.SimplyPamsCreations.com.  I will also have a new look to my blog in a few weeks.  I'm so excited!  :)

This card I made is for my brother who LOVES to cook and experiment in the kitchen.  I was trying to figure out how to make the cuts more manly and the designer paper I found is perfect!  I found this little gem of a paper pack at Joanns.  It's called Cloud9 Design Specialty 12x12 paper pack.  It has the most beautiful and perfect blues, turquoise, browns and greys.  I absolutely love it.  I'm thinking about getting another one to have on hand.  It's perfect for boy projects, especially big boy (uh, I mean men) projects.  :)

I don't know if you can really see it in the pictures but I used the Distress Stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder on the white cardstock.  This folder is perfect for men as well.

On the inside of my card I put the 2nd spoon on the measuring cup cut.

There is a new challenge going on over at the Paper Playtime.  I am actually sponsoring this challenge.  To be eligible for the gift (below) head on over to the Paper Playtime blog and submit your project.

A new Simply Crafts challenge this Wednesday and a brand new challenge coming on Friday that I'm doing w/ someone who creates something unique.  It's going to be so much fun.  Make sure you stop by.  I should have videos on those two days as well.

What's Brewin'?

I was trying to come up with another Halloween card and this idea came to mind.  My idea was to have a witch taste her potion by accident and she turned into a frog herself.  :)  It doesn't come across that way on the card but that is how it came about.  :)

MPS - Father's Day Challenge

The BBQ Grill (p. 41) and steak (p. 73) are from the 'From My Kitchen' cartridge. I cut the grill image in a few different ways:

- Main image - cut in black and used as the base

- Shift Main image - cut in black and silver. Cut the legs off of both and trimmed off the grill section on the black cut. That way the silver was showing through but w/ a black base.

- Layers image - Cut in yellow then chalked over it in orange so it looked like the coals were glowing.

- Popped up all but the base image on the card.

Let me know if you have any questions on this.

The base paper is PTI, the orange frame paper is SU! and the designer paper is from K&i Memories Classic Prints paper pack. Twine is from SU! The shine on the grill I drew on w/ my Gelly Roll Sakura Clear Star glitter pen. Love this pen! The glitter just rolls on.

The stamp is from the My Pink Stamper Everyday Occasions stamp set.

Happy Birthday Aunt Pat

So it's my Aunt's birthday is this weekend and I wanted to make her a card. She is not a girly girl. She is someone who likes to camp and fish. So I tried to make her a card that showed what she liked but added a few girly cupcakes on it, well, because I had too. ;)

Cartridges Used: Paper Doll for Every Day: Bucket & fishing pole, From My Kitchen: Cupcakes (I trimmed off the cherry and stem), ZooBalloo (Happy Birthday)
